Hello,
I am running the norwegian (barsoom) wd driver on my two RLL drives.
I have problems in using bad144 for bad block handling.
When I do a "bad144 wd1 0" to initalize the bad block table on the
second drive I get a an error message which sounds like:
label: Invalid argument
can't write disklabel
I labled the second drive (Segate ST 277-1) with a big a: partition beginning
at cylinder 0 and leaving two cylinders left at the end.
I also tried the enhanced bad144 version posted some time ago (same results).
So, what am I doing wrong ?
Thanks for your attention,
Hanjo
